Victoria's Secret to drop its
television fashion show amid
criticism

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Victoria's Secret is dropping its nationally
televised fashion show this year, at least partly because of criticism
following Janet Jackson's breast-baring faux pas at the Super Bowl.

Ed Razek, chief creative officer for the Columbus-based lingerie chain,
said Saturday the main reason for the decision was so the company can
look at new ways to promote the brand.

Still, he said, "We had to make the decision probably six to eight weeks
ago when the heat was on the television networks."

The announcement came less than three months after the Jackson uproar
and a week after federal regulators proposed $495,000 in fines against
Clear Channel Communications for sexual material on the Howard Stern
show.
